Microsoft launches Surface Pro 3 tablet

The Surface Pro 3 tablet launched by Microsoft recently have some promising features in built, however the device is yet to pose any meaningful threat against Apple’s still dominant iPad.

Microsoft is all geared up to compete against the iPad mini, which is why it had created Surface Pro 3 tablet- a viable replacement for your laptop.  There is a tough competition going on between Microsoft and Apple and the one who’ll get all the benefits out from this are customers.

Explaining about the benefits of using Surface Pro 3, Analyst Jack Gold, said, “Microsoft completely understands what its user wants and that its future is not at the low end of consumer tablets, where ultra-thin margins and highly competitive vendors will dominate.”

He added, “We have focused on business users who look at tablets as replacement for their laptop.” The company has already started taking preorders and the price at which you can bring Surface Pro 3 home is $799. The first units of Pro 3 will be available on June 20.

This new slate has 12.1-inch full HD display that is larger than the 10.6-inch display on current surface Pro models. It has Windows 8.1 software installed with fourth-generation Intel Core processors that made it capable of handling the software like Adobe Photoshop. With Surface Pro 3, a user can get up to nine hours of battery life even after surfing the web.

Other specifications of the device include a light weight magnesium machine (1.76 pounds), single USB 3.0 port, micro SD card slot, and a mini HDMI port. Just in case you want an optional docking station to add ports and connectors to have more of a desktop experience then be ready to pay $199.99 for the add on.

Microsoft is also planning to introduce the pressure-sensitive pen that it believes is as natural and personal as writing with real pen on paper. Also, the company is putting emphasis on preloading Microsoft’s OneNote program, which is free, however, the user has to subscribe to Office 365 for other Office programs such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.

During the launch Microsoft executive Panos Panay actually dropped the tablet intentionally on stage to show its durability however he did not make any formal claims about its sturdiness.

Best Buy Insignia Flex: Another Android tablet for penny pinchers

After Google’s Nexus 7, Amazon’s Kindle Fire, and Apple’s iPad Mini, the latest brand that has joined the bandwagon of cheap tablet manufacturers is Best Buy. According to a recent announcement, Best Buy is all geared up to launch its new Android tablet under its in-house brand – Insignia. The tablet, which will hit Best Buy stores on November 11th under the name Insignia Flex, will feature a 9.7-inch screen and will be powered by dual core 1 GHz processor. The tablet has been designed to run on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Additionally, it offers 10 hours of battery life, once fully charged.  The Insignia Flex weighs 1.45 pounds, similar to the weight of 9.7-inch iPad that weighs around 1.44 pounds. It will come equipped with a camera that can also be utilized for video conferencing.

Unfortunately, Best Buy has kept other details under the covers. It has not outlined other specifications of this Android tablet, like total amount of RAM, its storage capacity, screen type, or wireless configuration. Designed to cater the lower-end segment, the price of Insignia Flex is kept in line with the other small-screen offerings like 7-inch Samsung Galaxy tab. The new Android tablet is expected to be priced at around $239 to $259. Pricing will definitely give Best Buy an advantage over other entry-level tablets like $399 Apple iPad and $299 Amazon Kindle Fire.

Insignia, the popular brand of Best Buy, has traditionally offered competitive high-definition TVs, Blu-ray players, and other low-cost home electronics to the customers who look for more affordable products. However, with intense competition in the market, Insignia Flex needs aggressive price point and distinguishing technical specs to stand out from its rivals.

With holiday’s season around the corner, buyers longing to buy Insignia Flex can aim for additional discounts and attractive offers on Best Buy stores.
